Different Types Of Rolls, Customer, Fed And Mint

Yes .. forgot about them. I have seen them, but never had
any in my collection.

Not sure where they originate.

and how about the unsearched rolls? OK, that's a different topic.

Seriously, though, which of the types of rolls are considered "most productive" if one is to look through them for "keeper" coins? Does that differ by denomination?

Machines and humans have very different criteria for what will or will no pass the good/not good check to go into a roll.

A machine will see no difference between a worn Indian Head cent, a worn Wheat cent, or a worn cent from the 70s. They may or may not be calibrated to reject silver, and will always reject magnetic coins.

Customer rolls may be picked clean, contain a good sampling of circulation coins, or may contain whole collections dumped by a clueless inheritor.

Exactly ,That's why I will always try to get customer wrapped rolls before any other kind . and I still say the whole month of December is the best time to get those CWR's.
Think about it. people will need money for Christmas presents ,their last resort; roll up those coins in that 5 gal. empty water bottle and off to the bank .

I'm glad you started this thread GR58 because I have a (silly) question.
I stop at my credit union about once a month and always ask for $2.00 bills, or Ike, sac - Presidential dollars etc as I like to leave these as tips etc. They usually have crisp $2.00 bills. This time they said they were out but had plenty of Prez dollars in the vault. I ask for a roll and she brought these out. I was thinking that for the last few years these were not available to the public...only through purchasing at the mint or mint - proof sets. Am I confused about this since they are brand new Reagan dollars? I thanked her and gave her $25

I know my photos are not the best but.....

that is an amazing grab! I have heard of people cherry picking those rolls and spending the scuffed ones, but never someone just spending the whole roll for nearly a $10 loss!

Mine that vein! If nothing else, they are good trade fodder.

Also, back on topic for the thread...

I should also note that there are miscellaneous companies that package their own "mint" rolls. I got a few Washington and Jefferson from my bank back in the day. Clearly labeled as to what they were, but also clearly not OGP. Wish I had a pic; I busted them open to search for godless dollars, picked the best one from each, and re-deposited them.

Someone on here posted a few rolls of Westward Journey nickels rolled by such a company that came in a really odd amount like $1.50.

Also, from my experience, the shrink wrapped rolls usually come in a Brinks box. Dunbar (and maybe Loomis?) use the white rolls with colored ends.
